                               The kinetic urban shelter is
                               inspired by living structures like
                               plants and animals. Feathers and
                               wings or leaves have a special
                               aesthetic. The repetition of a
                               pattern and the light appearance
                               are a guide for this project.
                               Existing architectural structures
                               from Santiago Calatrava are also
                               exemplars.

Concept 1




The bus station provides 3 seats,
lighting and bus schedule infor-
mations on screens. The system
is powered by solar panels on
the backside of the roof.
Concept 2
       Concept 2
                   The roof is moving in the wind like a palm leaf. The kinetic structure is above the ground, so it offers half
                   shadow during the day and - when lit up at night - indirect lighting in the dark.

Tealeaf provides a new way of tea preparation.
While a tea bag with its string and little label on the end
is an efficient method of preparing tea, it can end up
being messy, when the hot water is saturated.
Wringing out the wet bag might be a challenge and
usually using the fingers is the fastest way.
Hot temperatures and water contact are two problems.
Tealeaf is a tool, that makes the process easy, clean
and enjoyable.

                  These are some variations of possible cutouts
                  in the head of the tea cutlery. Their function is
                  to make the waterflow easier, when wringing
                  out the tea bag.

  • 31. Concept information Soft Proposal Advanced Design 125 1) The design is a structure being part of and improving the the public transportation system. The concept offers atmospherical space in the city, providing shade, information about the transportation schedule with a simple interface for people using it and lighting at night. The urban shelter will also include seats or the opportunity for taking a rest while waiting for the bus. People, who need to use the public transportation system will benefit from it, as well as the city of San José. The transportation system will be more attractive, more people might use it, there will be less impact on the environment and the air polution will decrease. 2) The structure will consist of several components. The roof-like structure will consist of multiple spans, which are attached to an axle, that allows them to move in the wind. Each single span is covered with solar panels, which collect the energy needed for lighting at night. Depending on how much energy will be left, there might also be a docking station for recharging electronic devices. For saving the energy there will be additional components required: At least one big battery, approximately the size of a car battery, an inverter connected to both the solar panels and the battery. Each span will need an electric contact in form of either cables or inductive. Between each span will be a lighting, which needs to be connected to the battery or the electric circuit. The structure will need at least one column to give it a solid stand. Integrated in this column will be a seat or more, depending on available energy even a ticket printer. The space, that is required for the whole installation won‘t exceed 100 square feet. 3) Orthographics, first estimated dimensions.

Each span will need an electric contact in form of either cables or inductive. Between each span will be a lighting, which needs to be connected to the battery or the electric circuit. The structure will need at least one column to give it a solid stand. Integrated in this column will be a seat or more, depending on available energy even a ticket printer. The space, that is required for the whole installation won‘t exceed 100 square feet. 3) Orthographics, first estimated dimensions. Soft Proposal Advanced Design 125 1) The design is a structure being part of and improving the the public transportation system. The concept offers atmospherical space in the city, providing shade, information about the transportation schedule with a simple interface for people using it and lighting at night. The urban shelter will also include seats or the opportunity for taking a rest while waiting for the bus. People, who need to use the public transportation system will benefit from it, as well as the city of San José. The transportation system will be more attractive, more people might use it, there will be less impact on the environment and the air polution will decrease. 2) The structure will consist of several components. The roof-like structure will consist of multiple spans, which are attached to an axle, that allows them to move in the wind. Each single span is covered with solar panels, which collect the energy needed for lighting at night. Depending on how much energy will be left, there might also be a docking station for recharging electronic devices. For saving the energy there will be additional components required: At least one big battery, approximately the size of a car battery, an inverter connected to both the solar panels and the battery.

While a tea bag with its string and little label on the end is an efficient method of preparing tea, it can end up being messy, when the hot water is saturated. Wringing out the wet bag might be a challenge and usually using the fingers is the fastest way. Hot temperatures and water contact are two problems. Tealeaf is a tool, that makes the process easy, clean and enjoyable.
